Writing - Hansel And Gretel

Hansel And Gretel

By Eden And Mary

It was that time again, dad was taking us wood cutting. We always had to in the middle of summer
so that we  had enough wood for the winter. Little did we know this wasn't the normal wood cutting
trip. My brother Hansel and I woke up to the sound of the chainsaw. Dad was obviously checking if
it needed fuel or not. Well I  felt like yelling out it has fuel now SHUT IT! But of course I wouldn't
talk to my father like that but I think Hansel had a different idea. He screamed at the top of his lungs
“WE’RE TRYING TO SLEEP CAN YOU WAIT!!”
“It's time to get up anyway we have to go wood cutting.” We slowly arose, when we were dressed
we walked out to the kitchen where my annoying step mother, who we both hated and she hated us
too, was making breakfast like normal slop in a bowl. Well that's what Hansel and I called it. All
it was is oats but this was HORRIBLE.  When we had finished we walked outside to find a loaf
of bread some water and a pocket knife for each of us. We were confused as to why we had to take
bread and water we were not going to be long. We grabbed our stuff and trekked through the forest
to our fav

orite place and started cutting down the Rata trees. Dad then told us “I am going to get the truck t
o put the wood in. Wait here.”

So we did.

Our dad did not return ever. We decided after two days of walking trying to find our way home that
it was time to give up. We were out of food and water at this point so we were STARVING. I had never
seen Hansel like this before.   He was cold,he was pale and he was giving up.

A sweet aroma filled the air. We followed the sugary scent until we saw a glimpse of a small cottage.
The small worn down building looked like something out of a dream, as we hopped on the uneven
pavement we saw a sugary palace. We came to the house I had tears of joy in my eyes and we started
devouring the corners of the house but we then hear the booming voice of this little hunched lady. We
stopped in fright. I looked at Hansel, I could tell he was scared too. She only saw me.  I was trying to
signal Hansel to hide and run away but he didn't notice. He yelled “Over here granny!”

The short lady turned to Hansel and me and said,

“I am not trying to scare you but I want to know it you want to come in and stop eating my house.”  

We looked at each other and decided to go inside.

We followed the old lady inside, then sat at her little glass table. She offered us a glass of milk, we both agreed and skulled it and asked for another. We sat at the table and ate cookies and drank milk, while the witch was throwing wood on the fire. We were talking just Hansel and I about why this random lady was being so kind to us. Then we heard the sound of a door locking, the key snapping, and that was it, we were trapped. The witches booming voice said,

“Well which one of you is older?”

“That would be me,  Gretel.”

“Well Mr Hansel is it, come with me or watch your sister die.”

Hansel slowly arose and followed the witch. He turned back and had tears in his eyes, he mouthed thank you. When the witch had returned she said,

“Now you will cook, clean and do all the housework.”

“Yes mam” I replied.

I started my Chores, I cooked Hansel some lunch it was chicken drumsticks and mashed potato. All I had was bread and butter. When I had finished I had to go back to collect the plate from Hansel. I had a key to open the cage to collect the plates, the witch was always watching me. I always thought that I could free Hansel when she went to bed but I always fell asleep first. I walked in slowly to grab   the plate, tears swelled in my eyes as I turned to Hansel and saw the misery in his eyes.

 I couldn’t bare to see him suffer anymore, I had to do something.  I grabbed the key to open the cage and reached for the keyhole. Just as I took two steps towards the cage the hideous beast, aka the witch, woke up.  She ran towards me like the maniac she truly is. I dodged her like she was a bullet. Behind me was all her slaughter tools, I grabbed one of her many razor sharp knives and as she came towards me again I dodged her once more.   As she was lying on the

Which she didn’t have any.  She ran towards me once more, the last thing I saw was her, the witch ate my brother alive...
